Layer Details
Top upholstery
Bonded British fleece wool and cotton sit alongside hand-teased South American horsetail, Real Shetland wool and naturally breathable bamboo. Together these give a soft, dry surface feel with genuine airflow, which means less overheating through the night.
Spring system
A two-layer, hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 2,664 vanadium steel pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring moves independently, so you feel support where your body needs it and less disturbance from a partner.
Support layer
Blended Real Shetland wool and cotton form the base layer. This cushions the spring unit and adds a little more of that natural, breathable padding beneath you.

Key benefits
- Room to share properly: At 75cm each for two people sharing, the UK king gives each of you 7.5cm more than the UK double, which means fewer nights clinging to the edge.
- Length for a taller partner: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so a partner over six foot can stretch out rather than sleeping with their feet at the very end.
- Quieter on split schedules: The 2,664 individually pocketed springs in the 150 x 200cm size move independently, so an early riser climbing out should barely register on the other side.
- Space to prop and shift: The extra width helps when one of you needs pillows banked up during pregnancy or recovery, without pushing the other partner towards the edge.
- Fits more bedrooms than a super king: We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, a lighter demand than the at least 3m x 2.9m we suggest for the UK super king.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have started bumping elbows on a UK double, one of you is over six foot and wants the extra length, or you get up at different times and want those movements kept on your own side.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom measures less than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once the wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Vispring Distinction UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, 5ft x 6ft 6in in imperial, and 10cm longer than the UK double. For a partner over six foot, that length is often the real reason to upgrade. The UK super king is the same length, so going beyond the UK king adds width but no extra length.
How much room does each person get on a Vispring Distinction king size?
Two people sharing a UK king get 75cm each. That is 7.5cm more each than the UK double and 15cm less each than the UK super king. On paper the gain over a double looks modest, but over a full night it is often the difference between sleeping apart comfortably and meeting in the middle.
Will I feel my partner getting up on a Vispring Distinction UK king?
Probably less than you do now. The springs are individually pocketed, 2,664 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, so movement stays close to where it happens. The UK king also gives each of you 75cm, a little more distance from someone who leaves hours before you wake.
Vispring Distinction UK king or super king for a couple?
Choose the UK king if you want a clear step up from a UK double without the bed taking over the room. The UK super king gives 15cm more each, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, against at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Will a Vispring Distinction UK king fit in a new build master bedroom?
Often, but measure after the wardrobes are in, because built-in storage takes more floor than floor plans suggest. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m comfortable. If your room falls short, we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
